How technology commitment affects willingness to use AVs
(2019)Automation of vehicles will substantially change traffic and especially public transport as we know it. Ongoing implementations of test runs with self-driving vehicles offer the opportunity to assess future demand on this matter. Associated with the introduction of a self-driving bus service fully integrated into the local transport schedule on the Rhine Falls in Switzerland, we carried out a close to reality survey experiment. Making use ...Conference Paper -
Towards walkability enhancement
(2023)Walking, as a transportation mode, contributes to not only individual well-being but also environmental sustainability. Though often neglected in the transport planning process that focuses primarily on motorized transport, its benefits recently have renewed interest to promote walking by enhancing walkability. In this paper, we conduct a systematic review of the walkability literature according to three aspects: (I) supply-side analyses ...Conference Paper -
The future of public transport design in a postpandemic world
(2023)The COVID-19 pandemic has instigated substantial changes to daily routines and behaviors. Specifically, one lasting impact of the pandemic has been more flexible work arrangements. Such increased time and commuting flexibility can fundamentally impact future public transport use. Accordingly, the pricing and business models of public transit providers are being increasingly questioned. Yet, the post-pandemic future of public transportation ...Conference Paper -
Characterizing multimodal transfer time using smart card data
(2015)Understanding passenger transfer behavior is crucial to designing better multimodal transport networks and improving public transport service quality. However, obtaining data for modeling transfer behavior remains a challenge, in particular under complex facility configurations. The recent emergence of smart card data provides us with new and efficient data-driven approaches to modeling public transport systems. In this paper, we present ...Conference Paper -
A dynamic approach to long term mobility decisions in the life course
(2016)Arbeitsberichte Verkehrs- und RaumplanungThe relatively new research field of mobility biographies designates the analyses of long-term mobility behaviour and the availability of mobility tools in a life span. A retrospective survey of the TU Dortmund, ETH Zurich and Goethe University Frankfurt collects data on individual mobility biographies of three different generations in a household with a life-calender. Most of the past long-term decisions made by individuals such as buying ...Conference Paper -
Exploring willingness to pay of urban air mobility and on-demand transport
(2020)Research presented in this paper analyzed two data sets from Revealed Preference(RP) and Stated Preference (SP), obtained with a new travel diary and mode choice survey. This survey, called Mobility Jakarta, combines both revealed and stated preference parts and was conducted in the Greater Jakarta region. This is the first survey that collected responses from a substantial sample of the population across the whole metropolitan area. We ...Conference Paper -

Solution concepts for the simulation of household-level joint decision making in multi-agent travel simulation tools
(2014)In the recent years, there have been a growing interest in understanding and forecasting joint travel-related decisions, that is, decisions taken by several individuals together, including binding agreements. Such forecasting would first allow to predict the impact of policies aiming at influencing this kind of behavior (for instance policies aimed at increasing car occupancy), but also improve the forecasts in general, by taking into ...Conference Paper -
Modeling free-floating car-sharing use in Switzerland
(2017)Free-floating car-sharing has been one of the latest innovations in the car-sharing market. It allows its customers to locate available vehicles via a smartphone app and reserve them for a short time prior to their rental. Because it is available for point-to-point trips, free-floating car-sharing is not only an alternative to private cars, but also to public transportation. Using spatial regression and conditional logit analysis of ...Conference Paper
